Oh what a very nice take on the theme, since the world did come together to remember their dearly departed at the beginning of this month.
Happy weekend.
We remember our war dead on the 11th. Lest we forget....
Excellent take on the theme and have a great weekend!
I love this weeks theme of together, very powerful strong shots w/ lots of meaning
Moving take on the theme Jams. I hope you have a good weekend.
i hope we'll never have wars again that will claim this many lives... may they rest in peace. may WE all rest in peace...
have a great weekend =]
Ahhhh.... Good one Jams. :) Hope your weekend is going well. Saw your intruder cat pic - we have two and they are driving Pyewacket bananas.
I bought a spray can of cat deterrent - um, NOT very efective.
Round One to the intruders, zero to screaming Pye.
Wow - I think Canada and the UK are big on Remembrance day... Those are some great captures and finds!
A very meaningful post.
Nice take! Remembering the heroes that die for protecting the country together.
What are those little bags actually?
Ooopps....! When I look closer, then only I notice those are cross. But at one glance it sure does looks like mini bag maybe carrying a blessing for the dead.
This is very nice,Jam! Heart warming too. Thanks for sharing;)
Have a good weekend!
A very meaningful post. Thanks for sharing. Happy weekend!
Wow. I didn't realize what they were. So many....that's a sobering thought. Thanks for tackling this subject and reminding us what we have to be grateful for.
Amazing... too many dead ;(
that's a lovely take on the theme, especially as, without wanting to sound much older than I am, the youth of today do not seem to comprehend what these men and women sacrificed for us.
nice concept and very memorable too. We have celebrated this last weekend, Nov 1 and 2.
thank you for sharing this one jams, I enlarged the photo prior to reading what you said. I recognized the Poppy, and remember Flanders field.
In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
— Lt.-Col. John McCrae
just so you know, this is site of the week in my book.
My initial reaction was how beautiful are your photos. Then, upon realizing what they were of, I got to thinking how so very sad... :S
A very meaningful get-together to commemorate the dead from the war.
Great take on the theme :)
Hurray
great entry
my post this week is a little similar but less of such a serious nature. it is sad indeed to remember those no longer with us
nice take for this week's theme. happy weekend!
I also initially got a geometric. Then I looked closely and I got it even without reading your description. This just touches me deeply.
Well done.
Fills you with despair.
It took so many brave souls to bring about peace. It's a shame that we can't remember more often...what is that phrase? "Those who fail to remember the past are doomed to repeat it..." I think that's correct. This is just one reason why I feel such a kindred spirit with our UK brethren.
~~~Blessings~~~
I was wondering why all the news journalists on the BBC have been wearing poppies all week! What a beautiful idea for the theme and beautiful photos too.
Happy weekend

Too many!! Good thing to remember together. We must never forget!
Have a great weekend.
That's a great shot for a sad event
Thanks everyone!
Impressive shots, memorable event...
This was a sobering take on the theme. In Australia we come together on the 11th. We must not forget.
too many..:)
seeing the photo as one:)
not one by one:)
good job
happy weekend:)

Most unique take I've seen so far.
What a different take on together, on so many levels!! Thanks for a thought provoking post. We will be remembering our war dead on the 11th here, and I hope we get a turn out this large!

Superb! There are no other words for it!
Oh my.....Jams, this is chilling, but oh so touching and quite humbling to say the least.
Happy Hunting!
Yes! Together in remembrance. Here in Oz we celebrate Remembrance Day on the 11th of the 11th - Thank you for sharing your Remembrance Day.
While I am opposed to war, I have the highest respect for those who have fought for our country.
Wow, amazing, yet very sad...Thanks for visiting my blog :)
Thanks everyone. Armistice day is also celebrated. In paritcular it being teh 90th anniversary this year
Very sobering...good choice for this week...
Wonderful post. The photos are very moving.
Lookin at this post... I see unity, I see togetherness...
What a solemn occasion. I hope those who made the ultimate sacrifice for country are never forgotten.
Wow! That's a great choice - and great photos - for the theme this week. Wonderful! :)
Have a good weekend Jams!
A powerful reminder that freedom isn't free - great photos for this week's theme!
Excellent choice. Great photos.
In answer to your question, yes, it is jmb and leslie - but jmb is shy about her photo being shown!
A poignant set of photos for the together theme this week. May their sacrifice never be forgotten
That's terribly impressive !! Would have been good pictures for the blog peace movement !
Jams, I ripped you off, I will use your photo for my 11/11/08 post
Very emotive Jams. So many...
Amazing photos, although very sad meaning.

Another perspective of the theme...
Nice one!
Great lead-in piece and interesting perspective on the shots.
It's sad there are so many, but wonderful they're remembered. Our Memorial Day is in May, our Veteran Day is this month, on the 11th.
Riveting images. A powerful, moving, poignant post, Jams.
Loved the poem Sarge shared.
we will be celebrating Rememberance Day on Nov 11th...like England this is a day we celebrate and give thanks to those who gave their lives for our country....great photo
great take on the theme... when people come together, they can create some powerful things.
How very powerful!
These are wonderful shots. Interesting how the crosses and poppies are done.
We remember on Nov. 11 with Veterans Day.
There will be flags placed at the crosses in the National Cemetaries. Always an awesome sight also.
Thanks for this reminder that is takes the world to have peace, and for dropping by earlier.
let there be peace on earth!
A single entry for Friday Fun and Photo Hunt for me this week...
Great photos Jams. Remembrance Day is less visible here. The kids have events next week at school.
So many..so many.
Never forgotten.

Sobering...
Very powerful shots - excellent take on the theme! Our Veteran's Day is next week.
Thanks everyone!
Sarge feel free!
Wonderful idea for this week's theme and very moving.
My younger kids had a Veteran's Day presentation at school on Friday. It culminated in a big drive for items to send to the soldiers stationed overseas.
I for one was really happy to see the school recognizing the sacrifices of these soldiers/heroes.
great take on the theme! thanks for the visit. :)
THanks everyone. That was a nice gesture on the part of the school EWBL
they sure a tight together. it's a good reminder for us not to take our freedom for granted.
Great photos. A great way to honor the people who perished during the war.
